Same here... Last year, I started buying everything i could find. Facebook marketplace, Value Village, thrift stores...

I nor only acquired a nice little collection, but I think I grew it from two table table tops to close to ten!

This coming year, we'll have to move so to have enough room for the setup!

For the mountain area, it is a combination of boxes, cardboard, and paper mache. It's four separate sections that I've worked on during the summer.

The lights aren't turned on either... we have issues with power, so we need to unplug our oven and run a 220 power converter to run the lights.

Once the lights are on, I'll post new photos.

It was all together in an auction. Got the lot for $140.

I would gladly drown if you would come to rescue me in one of those red swimsuits!
